Let people change in to watch for. The common Well, we see where Alaskans are being criticized | the path Alaska i again by the the industry in Al salmon industry is accused of taking $60,000,000 out of Alaska annually and leaving only $1,000,000 in taxes | each year. { For what it's worth, we would like to point out that if the canned salmon industry were making $60,- 000,000 a year from Alaska fisheries, the present taxes would be too low. But this is not at all the case. | The $60,000,000 is the gross value of the pack for an average season. The value of the fish of this amount is about $20,000,000. The rest of this amount —approximately $40,000,000—is labor, materials and transportation. Out of all of this comes the profit, whatever it is. For the sake of argument, say the profit is aa high as 7 per cent. This would be a total of $4,200,000 and the present taxes would be at the rate of 4.20 per cent to the Territory. Federal taxes will also take a big chunk of this profit. What's left? One Congressman suggests that “at least $10,000,- 000 should go back to the Government in taxes,” which well bet is more than the profit is. Now, what kind of reasoning is this? Another Congressman also suggests Alaskans tax We were surpri: article that our had been living in a short time ago Service is one have sold millions millions of Amer! up in Whitehorse, to us his regret at anonymity. he moved have ki thought you were long—for Impose another heavy what the result will be. now are not because the price of gold is the same as before the war and labor and other costs have advanced | so far that the profit is gone will be a deciding factor against hasnt’ a chance of opening unless the price of gold goes up a great deal, or cheap labor becomes plentiful. A tax of $10,000,000 a year on the salmon industry goes by but what the canned salmon industry has } But the vogue is for more taxes—the people of iAlaskn want to elect representatives to the Legislature | who are for things which will require more taxes, and | sure of one thing, the insignificant veterans' tax which An income tax of not one per cent, but at least four per cent or more will be substitul,edith(, housing {basic industries going down under the burden of too ‘mnny taxes, or seeking greener pastures, is something brilliant boys in Congress for not taxing | his well being before he will do anything about it, aska enough.
